Louis Haghe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a sepia-toned drawing of a river with several boats on it. A large boat with a pointed bow and a flat stern is in the foreground, and it has a mast with ropes. There are people on the boat, some standing and some sitting. A smaller boat with people in it is near the larger boat. In the background, there are more boats and a line of pyramids. The sky is light-colored with some clouds. The pyramids are in the distance on the left side. The overall scene depicts a calm river with boats and people, with pyramids in the background.
